The characters and filmmakers pick up the pieces of the fantasy-adventure Gurren Lagann after the death of Kamina. Crushed by the loss of his "Bro," Simon finds himself unable to power up the title mecha, let alone fight. But the support of his comrades, especially Princess Nia, leads him back to Kamina's dictum: "Rejecting common sense to make the impossible possible is the Team Gurren Way!" The war against Spiral King Lordgenome climaxes in a spectacular battle at Teppelin, the capitol city-mecha. But even as he falls in combat, Lordgenome warns Simon of a yet greater threat to come--a dire prophecy that is realized seven years later.Director Hiroyuki Imaishi continues his use of dynamic cutting, bold colors, and imaginative graphics: some flashbacks and reaction scenes are done in alternate visual styles. But, like Simon and his friends, the viewer can't help missing the irrepressible Kamina, who added so much elan--and so little sense--to Gurren Lagann. (Rated 13 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use, stereotypes) --Charles Solomon (10. Who Is this Bro Person? 11. Simon, Move Your Hands, 12. Yoko, could You Do Something for Me? 13.

 Good, but defective master August 13, 2008

This is a fantastic series; I am mainly writing this review to point out the fact that the master for the 11th episode is from the TV version, not the version that was on the Japanese DVD releases. Sloppy work from Bandai. Other then that it is a decent release though.
 Great Series August 17, 2008

Gurren Lagann is one of the few new series to catch my attention recently. The show contains fantastic animation, a good story, and fast paced action. I am also a fan of how this series is being released. Bandai is releasing this show in three volumes, each of which contains two discs. However, the only versions that are currently available are the sub-title only disc, so if you do not like subs I suggest you wait for the dubbed release whenever that comes out.

This time around, the situation's getting serious. Harsh consequences and sacrifices are made by the Gurren-dan in the coming days as they inch closer and closer to Lord Genome. The series in no way loses momentum or quality; in fact, these only increase with each episode. Episode 18 is guaranteed to cause immense, hate-filled epithets. You can't beat a series which grips the viewer so tightly. Good release, sparse extras, but then again, it's Gurren Lagann. If that in itself doesn't motivate you to buy it, you need more than a few extras to help you.

Gurren Lagann is an amazing show that brings back the mecha genre. I am very happy with this product and the rest of the series. There is a number of epic mecha battles that include many stunning visual effects. I thought that the visual style alone made Gurren Lagann stand out from other upcoming mecha shows and those of the past. Gurren Lagann is an amazing show, end of story.
